TEHRAN – An Iranian troupe is scheduled to perform “Ubu Roi” at Tehran’s Baran Theater Hall on July 18.

The play is a loose adaptation of French symbolist writer Alfred Jarry’s “Ubu Roi” by Ehsan Zivar-Aalam.

“Ubu Roi” which means Ubu the King, is about Ubu who leads a revolution and kills the king of Poland and most of the royal family. The play is a parody of Shakespeare’s Macbeth.

Khashayar Qaracheh, Iman Esfahani, Hesam Afsari and Farzaneh Salahshur are the main members of the cast for the play, which will be on stage until August 21.
